Cultiuana CT-660 Unboxing

This fixture has been provided by Cultiuana.com

I am unboxing here so others can experience this right along with me.
Here you can see what comes in the box.
what I’m going to call the housing for the driver (body of the fixture) There are details regarding the lights specs & certifications.

The light did come packaged pretty well. All the spaces between the light bars were occupied by styrofoam to keep everything in place during shipment.
This fixture is the only one that I have opened that instead of using the wire hanging kit (which lessens vertical space) it includes 2 pairs of rope ratchet hangers to be clipped directly to the rings on the body of the fixture. (I like it)
What I like even more, is they are built with metal moving parts. (That I really like)

There’s an RJ14 dimming cable to use for connecting multipl

Power cord connector with an adapter to fit my outlet. (6-15p to 6-15r I believe)

This light is a pretty nice fit in the 4x4. This will be its new home for my next flower run. (Probably a little veg too)
I have a few zip ties wrapped around the timer that will allow me to secure the timer to its plug. Just a precaution due to the weight of the cord. (Temporary until everything is in place. The cords will be secured to the roof poles for piece of mind)
Given the size of the light… the utility bag is getting evicted. My extraction & ducting will also be getting a makeover. I will update my extraction kit set up thread with the changes.

One thing I would have liked to see… more information on the product. What was provided I’m sure can be corrected for the future. I requested more information via email.

5 year warranty, nice!

@Bucsfan80 I seen that. Also lifetime technical support.

I’m also digging the diodes 6000k + 3000k combo. These diodes are by sanan with osrams I believe.

She lights up pretty nice.
Dimmer settings are 20%-40-60-80-100-off-ext
I’m assuming the ext place on the dial is used when daisy chaining multiple lights together. We won’t be utilizing that feature, so that saves me that dilemma.

Looks nice, I just turned mine up to 100% as I flipped to flower today. I might be backing it down to 80% and lowering it down but I'm hoping they'll take the 100%. It was reading 46-50K LUX at around 30" at 100% with my cheap light tester from the center to the edges. Have you decided what you're going to run yet?

I had an issue with my ducting, so I had to reroute it in order to accommodate this mammoth light lol
I used my surroundings to help get the ducting in place once I pulled the light down & rerouted to the roof port.


Space left in the back of the light.

I am putting a few things in there at first. Banana Kush will be the only long term resident tho. Just 1 plant. Pot size is in the air atm.. may go 7gal.

It is a big beast. I'm lucky I don't need to run a carbon filter so I just have the exhaust duct poking into the tent right above the light. It does get significantly warmer at 100% so you may need some more space between the fixture then. Just wanted to give you a heads up. You can still hold your hand on the ballasts and the top of the light but it's a good bit warmer than at 60%. Banana Kush sounds awesome, can't wait to see it. I love kush strains.

Congrats ….

Question : What do you think of conformal coating ?

It has the same feel as the coating on the mars & spider farmer lights, just not as thick.

Thanks for bringing that up. The carbon filter really isn’t needed, I just use it out of consideration for a nice couple next door. Big church goers & lots of family/congregation get togethers in their yard. It’s about 1/4 acre to their line, but the smell travels there & beyond. I could however remove the extraction if need be, and place it outside the tent. I’m going to be using a trellis, so I am thinking I should be ok. Fingers crossed on that. Breeder says the pheno’s have about a 30-50% stretch.
